Listened to Karl last night at the Belly Up in Solana Beach in a small venue; Felt like our own private World Party. What a wonderful show. As well as Gabriel Kelly. Thanks for such a magical time. The young Irishman on the fiddle was amazing. The time where he turned his fiddle into a strata-caster would have made Eddie Van Halen take a step back.
Thanks again and hope you do this again!!!
Is Karl bringing a full band or just a guitar player to accompany him on keyboards?
I am also curious if there will be a full band on this tour. I saw them twice as a trio. They were great, but would love to see The full band this time.
